Shaq Texts Reveals Another Affair; D-Wade Denies Cheating On Gabrielle

Miami Times has released yet another piece of evidence against retired NBA player Shaquille O’Neal and his many affairs – this time with model Dominica Westling. Earlier today we reported that Shaq managed to get a Newsweek writer to do his dirt bidding and play matchmaker. In the process of vetting out his options, actress Lauren London’s name came up. To which Shaq responded, that’s “D Wade’s girl”. Well D-Wade was and is currently dating actress Gabrielle Union. In no time flat Dwyane Wade put an end to the rumor when he tweeted:

Really Really..This brings a new meaning 2 don’t believe what u read..@MsLaurenLondon & I are like brother and sisters PERIOD..#Rumorkilled

So that’s that. Back to Shaq and his model “friend” Dominca. Here’s what a series of texts read

Westling: I feel bad we lost contact. Hope you are well. I live in LA now so hit me up if you ever come out there
-dominica

Shaq: O my god were r u can i have u bak i miss u to whts yur number pls baby i want u bak do u love me

Dominica: Yes I wanna see you, you know I can never forget about you. My number is [redacted by us]

[Twenty-three days later, Dominica sends Shaq an email with only the subject line “Muuaaahhh” and a photo that, judging by his reaction, didn’t depict a tray of freshly baked cookies.]

Shaq: Where can I cum at when I c u

Dominica: All over me, where do you wanna cum?

Shaq: In u foreva

Dominica: I miss that

Somewhere Shaunie O’Neal must be sitting down shaking her head…is this really what Shaq was doing with his spare time? And what does his current girlfriend Hoopz think of this?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
